Master  2235    Pacific Northwest |  Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh inI am at 179 which is UP about a half pound. I feel like I have gained about ten pounds, though. All of a sudden feeling flabby and having poor body image issues (well, those have never really gone away)... I ate like crap all week--justifiying treats, and I have not yet let any Halloween candy through the door so I am hopeful I can avoid that until the last minute. I usually hand out stuff I hate, like Snickers and Butterfingers, because I won't eat those ever. Gotta keep my hands off the kids' food. That's going to be my challenge of the week. NO EATING KID FOOD!!! This includes sandwich remains, snack remains, extra this or that, sips of choc milk boxes, handfuls of cereal, etc etc..... NO KID FOOD, LESLIE! And especially NO Halloween candy. Sugar is such a slippery slope for me. I finally did what I said I was going to do at the beginning of the challenge--I had my BF% measured at the gym this morning. I am horrified that it came out to be 30%! They have to have made a mistake. I know that caliper testing isn't the most scientific, and next weekend there is hydrostatic weighing so I might do that. Still, it is yukky to hear that after I have lost 50+ pounds and have dropped 6 or 7 clothing sizes, I am still at 30%. Anyway, it's better than 50% and gives me a benchmark. So, I did pilates, to see if I can tone that dratted midsection that taunts me. I am going to restate my weekly goal again. NO KID FOOD NO KID FOOD NO KID FOOD. Ok, there. Good job this week. The hard part is being honest with ourselves and our challenge-mates. Keep up the hard work!!! INSPIRE! |

This includes sandwich remains, snack remains, extra this or that, sips of choc milk boxes, handfuls of cereal, etc etc..... NO KID FOOD, LESLIE! This is the worst isn't it? My husband and I are both very frugal folks, and we had a heck of a time "training" ourselves to throw away food. When my eldest daughter was a toddler, she wouldn't eat french fries (good for her!) but there weren't a whole lot of other side choices, so instead of letting "good food" go to waste, hubby and I would clean her plate.  Yuck! Thankfully, that's one of the first habits we broke when we started our weightloss odyssey...(and also thank goodness for more choices on kids menus). Other than getting over the initial distaste in throwing food away, another tip that helps me is that when I lay out their food (especially snacks), I also immediately put out a ziploc baggie. They eat what they will and the rest goes in the baggy. I don't even think about it. This has saved me from finishing numerous packs of goldfish! (And they can finish it the next snack time.) Don't be discouraged!!! You can do it! |

I'm sure you'll meet your goal, but just in case you don't, you can send my $1 to ....  Secondary goal will never be met as long as the Devil continues to produce Diet Pepsi Max! Have a Great weekend all! Another Diet Pepsi addict here...personally, its something I've decided that I'm not giving up. But if you're trying to wean yourself, wouldn't going from Max to regular Diet be a good start? (Doesn't Max have like double the caffeine? I've tried it a few times, but I'm happy enough getting my jolt from the regular diet...many, many cans of it. ) Kristen |

Veteran 288 | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in Jedi - 2007-10-27 11:18 AM chudley - 2007-10-27 10:53 AM Hey Jedi..... Not sure if you can realistically expect results from trying anything for just one week. When I experiment I try it for an entire month...if it doesn't work after a month, I move on. I read somewhere that you will see at least a week or two lag time from what you do to what you see at the scale. I have lost 67 lbs with this trial and error mindset over the past year...so I know that giving "it" time...what ever "it" may be certainly works! Hang in there. Hi Chudley, I think i find it kind of challenging that i am not simply remaining static but actually gaining... from trial and error these past two years i know what works also for me: much less cardio (with mix of LISS and HIIT) and lots more weights plus much lower carb, this works for me on around 1600 cals, however i don't seem to be able to find what works when i increase all the endurance stuff, am expending many more calories and eating somewhat higher carbs.. By the way WELL DONE for breaking through into the 220s Thanks for the kind words! You do certainly have a peculiar predicament! I'm sure you will find a solution. In the mean time remember we are always here to support you! |

| Champion 9430 No excuses! | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in 205 for me this week. It has been a bad week for eating. Lots of crap going on with work and laziness and stress have got me into some bad habits. Will have a great weigh in next week As far as meeting my goal by New Years, I guess first I have to get there then we can worry about what we will do for myself |

| Member 20 Huntington beach,ca | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in Last week-259.8 this week -260.0 HO HUM At the risk of being arrogant, I am proud of myself in one regard. Living in So Cal, obviously last week we had the Gale winds and Really bad air quality due to the wild fires. This really was prime territory for a whole myriad of excuses not to workout. It did hamper my bike riding to work, but I made up for it with my runs. My wife, Freinds and others would have not batted an eye at me taking a week off considering the circumstances. But I knew better and I decided that living my life by excuses and getting by no longer works for me and the bottom line is even though I am progressing I still feel like I am on the razors edge when it comes to my whole "Plan". A week or two of missed workouts due to "Circumstances" along with relaxing my eating and I could be totally lost again. I don't know if I can go back again so the only option is FORWARD!!!!! LOL Secondary goal...was met!!! stuck to my every other day minimum on my workouts which I have maintained for the last 10 days, so I am encouraged by that. This weeks secondary.......Have only two rest days in a week...... Edited by BIGBOY777 2007-10-28 6:08 PM |

Veteran 288 Haddonfield, NJ | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in Sorry I'm so late... Starting weight 225 (10/15/07) Last Week's Weight 222.8 (10/19/07) Today's Weight 222.0 Loss = 0.8 Goal weight 205 (1/1/08) Well, a loss is a loss. I'll take it. I want a new bike but I won't even begin looking until I'm under 200 so I guess that will be my reward |

Veteran 244 South Carolina | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in Hi! I'd like to join this "challenge" group. I've lost 22 lbs. since last January. I only need to lose 5-10 more, but those are the hard ones! I need to have people to hold me accountable. I'm a first year triathlete, with a big second year planned (maybe full IM?). Was on WW Core Program, but have switched to using BT nutrition/training logs. I'm pretty much still using the WW core food idea, along with watching calories. I know what's healthy for me to eat now. Oh, by the way, this week's number: 142 lbs. I guess you're weighing in on Fridays? |

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in Here are the results from Week 4...good work everyone! A couple of particular shoutouts: Congrats to Paul Walker for leaving Clydesdale territory, Chudley for dipping into the 220's, and YogaNerd for getting a weight/measurement that inspired happy dancing. Congrats to BigBoy777 for working out during the CA wildfires, and Ten9T6, oweiss, Blizzard_rw, marina, Maura9900, and LastCall2003 for making their secondary goals. Big love to barqhead, jedi, chrisrunzs26, lastcall2003, and gorjess who didn't quite have the weeks they wanted and might need a little extra inspiration this week. Kristen

Champion 6107 Out running or enjoying a fine glass of red... | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in PS ... To make the spreadsheet more reader-friendly, I'm going to bump off the people that haven't weighed in for 2 weeks. (Not bumping off like the Sopranos! Like erasing...er...not erasing like the Sopranos...well, y'know what I mean!) HOWEVER - I'm a shiny, happy person and I will add anyone back to the spreadsheet whenever they weigh in...they will just be removed for the purposes of posting here. HAVE A GREAT WEEK! Kristen |

Expert 1112 I'm a Tennessee girl living in SoCal. | Subject: RE: October 26 - New You by New Years weigh in I know I haven't weighed in for a couple of weeks, but could you please leave me on the spreadsheet? I've had a pretty stressful couple of weeks taking training classes for a professional certification exam I'll be taking on Friday. I'm planning to hit a Weight Watchers meeting on Saturday and can report in after that. It won't be pretty though because I tend to be a stress eater.  |
